`THESE CABLE bills are outrageous," our friend said, "and the
stuff that is on some of them! I've got two teenage girls, and I
wouldn't want them to watch a lot of it."
Comcast, the nation's largest cable television company, just
unveiled a new 16-channel Family Tier that might satisfy our friend's
needs. So we showed him the channel lineup.
"The Weather Channel is good, and so is CNN Headline news, and I
like it that they've cut out MTV. But a lot of it is geared for
little kids. Who needs Toon Disney? And I like to watch the Red Sox,
but that's NESN, and how about the other news channels? Can't I get
them added on?"
